Foster’s routes remain legendary for their ferocious crimps and uncompromising boldness. Ton Snelder once wrote of Roland Foster: 'Had Foster been climbing new routes on Himalayan peaks in an equivalently up-to-date style, and if rock climbing was as respected as that noble pursuit, he may well by now have been Sir Roland.'

Before
Ivan Vostinar was a central figure in the New Zealand climbing scene during the 1990s and 200s. Recognised as one of the earliest "Basiners," Vostinar became known as the "King of Castle Hill" for his extensive development and mastery of the area's limestone boulders. A powerful climber, he was an early adopter of dedicated training, operating under the personal ethos that "the body will adapt." Vostinar established numerous difficult sport routes in the Cave and across the South Island up to 8b+. Beyond his athletic achievements, he authored several definitive regional climbing guides, most notably Rock Deluxe with Kate Sinclair, a comprehensive work in which they climbed an estimated 93% of the 1719 routes and 1561 boulders.

This climb does not exist, Flock Hill was closed at the time for the Narnia filming - I recall a few of us at the time investigating. Don't think any of this climbers ascents are real.
